potatoes 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 Aircon pipes problem in MBR Toilet...See the problem?Yep, Tiling works had to come to a halt because the aircon pipes running through the toilet to the other rooms are blocking.ID called in the aircon contractor, ID is willing to bear the cost of dismantling the aircon casing and putting them back after tiling is done.

potatoes 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 Contractor ran out of tiles yesterday.... Part of the toilet wall was incomplete..... Hope the tiles will come in quickly. Plastering for all the walls and ceiling will start soon. We have just decided on the choice of laminate wood for kitchen cabinet. I am looking forward to see the kitchen cabinet and the bar counter.

Kobelala 8 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Wired will be much more reliable. I run a single wired connection between lvl 1 and 2, and have 2 wireless routers - 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs. 2nd router upstairs will just act as a switch and now signal is still relatively good throughout the house.Ok Bro, thanks for the Tips, I'm definately trying wired now but with only 1 router upstairs, as the MIO box is acting as a router in lvl 1, so lvl 1 and 2 will be switch on all them time. Think should be ok la hor ?? Hi Kobelala, can PM me your contractor contacts...thks!Hmmmm, DOEL0303, my contractor or potatoes ??? As we're not using the same one Edited August 3, 2011 by Kobelala Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

potatoes 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2011 nice progress!!! dun worry will turn out nice nice.... reno can b stressful....especially due to unforeseen circumstances.Thx;) u are right.... Many unforeseen circumstances encountered. The big pipes were not shown in the plan,.... This can cause obstruction. Plastering and tiling works were obstructed by electrical casing and also no PUB.

potatoes 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) DAY 21 (6Aug) UpdatesPlastering of wall and ceiling has begun The new wall that separates the kitchen from the yard.... new bin installed.Problem with kitchen sinkID told me that the kitchen sink that we purchase cannot fit in due to the protuding pipes. The pipes were not shown in the plan. He suggested to change to a smaller sink, but we insisted that we still prefer the double sink. So he would need to extend the cabinet space to extend beyond the pipe. Edited August 7, 2011 by potatoes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
